AND THE LACK OF PLAN PLAN

05.11.05-05.12.05

Opening; Friday 04.11.05, 7-9pm

The dark meta-narrative of the anticipation of retribution and endgames

of maximal defection taps upon my universal quivering curatorial

inner oyster to stand up and to sing ‘The Love of the Grandchildren’-

a song to soothe our unease with Proposal- that we may reap the

benefit of our ease with Critique. The first refrain:

“Critique is the Past Tense of Proposal”

If Worms Establish Interior Traction on that string of soil/experience

on which they are a fleshy tube, and thereby pull themselves forward,

and can serve both as our basic model of artificer, and also in

the modeling of that momentum of culture from one order/disorder

to the next

If Culture has manifested this momentum in historical

time by passing out- into name- “what we are not now”

as it moves forward to the dragging in from the future of yet

another name in the- thusly made- chain of names

If Artists, in the production of their work, drag down

what was hanging oppressively in the ethers, and give it a name

we can behold

If The Great Rearangements of Matter have been concomitant

with the naming of new and knowable Rights

If Rights are highly concentrated names for the vast infrastructural

prerequisites to the exercise of a Right: If the declaration of

‘the Right to shelter’ is a statement of intent to find

or to build shelter

If Economies have elaborated through the production of

those structures and things that enable the exercise of a Right

(whether unspoken or formally named)

If The Fatty-Black-Water-Fired Economy- of which we are

a part- has lost its traction on reality because it has thus far

failed to name the next set of Rights, despite a great hunger

for the new economies into which they could be elaborated

If Cynicism is a viscero-economic discomfort with that

loss of traction and momentum concomitant with the retention of

a thoroughly named order/disorder equation

If Dedicated Defection from an Order to its Disorder becomes

deleteriously expensive in highly elaborated orders

If We Have Come to this high-resolution vantage point

in the post-modern foothills, having unfurled a replicating molecule

and dragged in an image of the earth from space.

If The God-Mathematical Productive Anarchy of Human Activity

has made patterns on the earth, which look like crudely mimicked

organs- where by organ we mean any of the vast number of formalized,

benneffectively contingent, and accommodating economies comprising

the body.

If At Points of Highly Elaborated Social Economy, in cultures

of any of the 5 absolute scales of life form, the activity of

individuals seeking satisfaction of their personal hungers, begins

to make a discernable meta-pattern, which anticipates the ‘skinning-in’

of these individual hungers at the next absolute scale of life

form.

If It Is More Elegant that the advent of human reason

should come to consciously continue this process (which produced

it), not in the manner of “Biological Determinism”,

but in the manner of “Avante Gardening of the God Maths Along

Analogy Maps”

If An ‘Ultimate Cell’ or ‘Ultimate Human’

seeks the satisfaction of their individual hunger in a culture

of cells or humans,

If A ‘Super-Cell’ is a member of the diverse

community of ‘super-cells’ that comprise a human body,

and is in possession of a dense chain of names (DNA), which can

be elaborated into the organ economies that enable the cells to

experience hunger and seek satiety at the scale of whole human.

If A ‘Super-Human’ will one day be, a member

of the diverse community of ‘super-humanity’, all of

whom will be in possession of a dense chain of names (Rights),

which can be elaborated into the World Organ Economies that enable

them to experience hunger and seek satiety at the glorious scale

of whole world.

If recognition of endpoint changes Momentum into

Trajectory.

Then

‘The Pattern of the Plans and The Lack of Plan Plan’

is an experiment towards the development of a syntax that can

name the next, experiential rights, in the spirit of furthering

a trajectory whose advancement is measured by new traction/names

for the pattern of the phenomenal.

---- An Experiment in 4-Dimensional Syntax in Porcelain and Steel ---

Wherein the artists produce 3-d vocabulary in porcelain and a
2-d etymological facet, and together, elaborate a syntax in the
manner of a drawing in steel, which holds the vocabulary in spatio-temporal relationship to each other and to the viewer.
